Downloading from Google drive doesn't cost anything, does it? Although, I guess you would have to have enough empty space on your Google drive to be able to store the takeout zip, which I think is an acceptable cost


Androids implementation doesn't even have an extra step of screenshotting like iOS. You can just swipe up to open recents screen and start selecting text by holding down. Although it's not as good as native selection since it does some kind of OCR vs actually selecting the text data, so it cannot properly copy things it doesn't understand like random languages or hashes/urls etc. It does has it's own advantages though since it can select anything like text from paused videos vs only rendered text views if app allowed native selection).


Maybe prefixing with "Previous discussions" instead of "Posted here multiple times before" will not sound like complaining


It's really hard to find a phrase for this that people don't interpret as a complaint or criticism. It took me years before I hit on "Related", which seems just neutral enough to mostly avoid that misunderstanding (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).


The phrasing was matter of fact. And there is nothing inherently wrong with reposting. Certain other websites have developed a culture opposed to it, but I have yet to see that here.


Agreed, I actually tried and go back to change the wording to exactly that, but unfortunately it was already past the editing grace period. But lesson learned for next time.

I wonder why spool of fiber optic cable is on the drone vs with the operator..


Drag and fibre tension.

In the former case, you have close to zero for both. In the latter, you're dragging 2km of line behind a small aircraft, risking the line getting snagged by something on the ground.


Any reason for not having a web client?


You can run it as a web server! It's just not as commonly done right now since I haven't put much time into integration with cloud providers (stuff like CloudFormation templates I mean) and I don't yet have a public Docker image that is up to date.

I got my number the same way from Google Fi when it was publicly available, in xxyyyyzaab format. In my country, having a number like that usually means you have good "connections."
